Gagan Narang who won the first medal for India at
Olympics on Monday had less time to celebrate as he was focusing on 50M Air
Rifle Prone which is slated to begin today. He was working hard on healing the
injury after winning the bronze medal on Monday.
“Gagan pulled a neck muscle, I think during the 10m
air rifle final. He didn’t feel the pain that day but he complained about it
the next morning,” national coach sunny Thomas told DNA.
Narang who is working on the fitness with his team
physiotherapist since Tuesday, also felt he did not find time to cherish the
moment, as he was busy healing the injury and focusing on the other events.
His coach, Thomas who is working with Narang and
helping him sort out issues ahead of the event on Friday, said, “To remain in
that position for more than one hour is tough. His knee is not a big problem
anymore. It has been holding up well for last few weeks. We are worried a bit
about his neck as it was bothering him a lot on Friday. But it is getting
better now. Hopefully, he’ll be fit and ready for Friday.”
